That was a fun read.

I went to a couple social dances hosted by a local ballroom dance club. I like pretending I’m someone else, someone cool, since I don’t know anyone there.

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. MUCH JOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND, DARE I SAY, WROUGHT.

What was it?

Network Time Protocol? Cool, didn’t know that!

Wow, that’s really impressive! And they’re not being paid by Apple either…

I thought there would be lots of Linux distros designed for SoCs since they’re somewhat common for laptops.

Huh, I thought it was ARM enough to work with existing other distros, but I guess not. I learned something new today, thanks!

Congrats. May I ask why you choose to go Fedora rather than another Debian derivative?

Good point!

No, it’s only Russell’s question.

Someone commented about it in a similar chain/post on Lemmy several months ago. I can’t find it now. It probably was just a general “what Android apps do you find indispensable?” post, not a budgeting-specific post.

I like Cashew. It advertises a paid tier occasionally, but you can just tap past it.

This made me laugh. I’m sorry for your loss.

It would be great if it could become a virtually universal social media eventually, but for its quirks to be understood by everyone, some critical mass of first adopters must understand the fediverse. So I think the fediverse will self-select for technically knowledgeable people at first before eventually becoming accessible to the public, not by any fault of its own but by virtue of having been around long enough and grown enough of a community to attract the average person from traditional social media.

I also think there are different instances and communities for people with different priorities. People interested in the ideas behind the fediverse can congregate on lemmy.ml (because that’s where Lemmy’s developers are, right?) and in FLOSS communities, etc., while people looking for a social network that won’t use them for profit can flock to region-specific instances, etc.

I’m using GymRoutines. It’s for gym routines only, not weight loss or nutrition. It’s perfect for my needs.

No account needed if you’ve got uBlock Origin. I’ve been using that and the experience is a smooth as pirating.

My only complaint is that the caption setting does not persist between episodes, but honestly, when I was pirating it, the captions weren’t working at all, so this is still an upgrade.

I’m trying to learn perspective. What is there that isn’t respecting the vanishing point?

They’re just jealous :3

Weather

OpenWeather: shows weekly overview by default; if you select one day it shows you a nice graph of precipitation and temperature for that day. Good for figuring out the forecast at a glance.

Weawow: the Hourly Details view is amazing for scrolling through the next few days hour by hour and seeing precipitation amount, precipitation probability, temperature, and so on all at the same time. I love the detail it provides. Also, I believe the beautiful pictures in the app are community-donated.

Store apps

Neo Store: Doesn’t allow auto-updating, but I like its layout significantly better than F-Droid.

Social media

Voyager for Lemmy: neat compact layout allowing you to see many more posts at a glance than any other app I’ve tried (Jerboa, Liftoff, Thunder). Also lots of nice features like marking newly created accounts with a baby emoji, ability to share comments as nicely formatted screenshots (I didn’t think I’d use this feature but it’s honestly so convenient!), and ability to customize swipe behavior.
